KCK STATEMENT : AKP wants to end the democratic resolution process
A KCK ENIGMA
“Either the AKP government will initiate a legal process of negotiation with our leader, or any other case will be a development of a new process not desired by anyone.”
ANF – BEHDINAN 05.04.2014 – KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council Presidency has released a statement in response to the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s remarks in which he stressed yesterday that the government would take no steps to form a legal frame for talks with Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan in the ongoing democratic resolution process.
KCK underlined that “With this statement of Erdoğan, it has been proved that the AKP government wants to end the process which has already been facing a deadlock.”
KCK remarked that the Kurdish movement and people have always sided with a democratic solution and negotiation for the Kurdish question, and that the AKP government has displayed a contrary approach towards the process. According to KCK, the Kurdish people have no choice left but to build democratic autonomy by means of their own struggle and will.Pointing out that the election process in Turkey has witnessed artificial and fake agendas and discussions beyond Turkey’s democratization and the resolution of the Kurdish question, KCK said none of the system’s parties has had the will nor perspective to serve this objectives.
According to KCK, the CHP (Republican People’s Party) has once again manifested its improvidence in the election process due to its policy of alliance with Fethullah Gülen, and its nationalist mindset of denial, and the BDP-HDP line has won the 30 March’s local elections by proving to be the true public opposition for democracy against the fascist government and all the frauds and despotism of the Turkish state. KCK expressed that after the AKP government has obtained a certain result from the elections by using all means of the state, Erdoğan revealed at yesterday’s press conference its approach towards the resolution of the Kurdish question and the initiation of negotiations with Kurdish leader Öcalan on a legal ground.
KCK continued by criticizing the AKP government for arrogating the democratic resolution process to itself and using it as a strong argument in the election process. KCK underlined that Erdoğan’s remarks have revealed that the government will do nothing to form a legal frame for negotiations with Leader Apo [Öcalan] as Erdoğan treated the Kurdish leader as an ordinary prisoner, avoiding to recognise him as the will of a people and the chief negotiator of the Kurdish movement.
According to KCK, Erdoğan has substantiated the trueness of the Kurdish movement’s recent declaration which defended that “the AKP government is no longer an interlocutor because of its insistence on maintaining its present approach and mindset.”KCK stressed that the Prime Minister voiced these remarks in response to Kurdish people’s leader who said during his most recent meeting with the state’s delegation on March 8 and with the BDP-HDP Delegation on the 9th that he gave time and a chance to the government until the elections, and that the process would make no progress unless a legal ground is established for negotiations.
KCK underlined that in response to the efforts and steps of the Kurdish leader and movement, the AKP government has seen these steps as weakness and followed an election-oriented policy while approaching the process from a tactical perspective. Calling on the Kurdish people to enhance the struggle and to mobilize in order to build their own democratic autonomy system, the KCK also urged all revolutionist, democrat, left-wing and socialist powers, the group of wise people, intellectuals and all sensitive individuals to raise their voice and to exercise pressure on the AKP government. KCK noted that the the point arrived at was crucial for peoples, and added; “Either the AKP government will initiate a legal process of negotiation with our leader, or any other case will be a development of a new process not desired by anyone.”
